Have you ever had a dream, Charlie Brown, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
Listen Charlie Brown, form is emptiness and emptiness is form.
Form is not other than emptiness, emptiness is not other than form
The same is true with feelings, perceptions, mental formations and consciousness.
It's like in the great stories, Charlie Brown. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?

Hey @furfest.org maybe you should follow this con's lead and start installing CO2 monitors. arstechnica.com/security/202...
This hacker conference installed a literal antivirus monitoring system
Organizers had a way for attendees to track CO2 levels throughout the venue—even before they arrived.

Gypsy Vanners are working horses and sometimes that work involves delivering packages, sometimes it involves pulling carts or a plough and sometimes the work involves a different kind of ploughing altogether.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Finally catching up on Owl House after being made curious about it.
It's neat. Fun laugh.

Should I be liking Principal Bump? ;D
He just tries so hard just to run his place properly.

I can't remember if I posted this here but I really like how this sequence turned out so even if I did I'm posting it again!

Careful how you ponder your orbs- if you break them you might get bound to them!

Monthly patreon doodle by Cervelet. Not a lot to add here other than I wanted to joke a bit with the audio mix of that one forum chat game of Castlevania ;)

I hate how gut issues have the weirdest co-morbidity symptoms.
But also useful in detecting upcoming problems...
In my case; when my ankles and feet feel like they're inflamed and hurt loads but are not ACTUALLY inflamed means my Crohn's is not far behind to actually act up.
That said. Ow.
